W124 1992, battery drain problem

We've had some colder temperatures recently (-15°C) and a problem with my battery has developped. It seemed to drain excessively overnight, to the point the car would not start anymore.

So I have disconnected the positive battery terminal and put my multimeter in series between the positive terminal and the connector itself. I read 1,94 Amps. I think this is way too much... I expected something in the order of milliamps...

Next, I have kept an eye on the multimeter (still reading AMPS) and pulled every fuses, one at a time. None led to a drop in current flowing from the battery.

The fuses I have tried are in the engine compartment, and numbered 1-16, and A-H. Are there any other fuses to test to figure out where the current is flowing to?

I have had the car entirely repainted in October, all lights and door panels have been removed. I am not surprised to be getting this sort of problems... but I need some help to solve this one.

Any advice welcome!

Thanks,
